Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: Where to Catch Kangaskhan
Kangaskhan, a popular favorite in both Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl, is regarded as one of the best Normal-type Pokémon due to its outstanding stats and ability to take on all adversaries head-on. With that in mind, we’ll tell you where to find Kangaskhan in both Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl so you can quickly add the super-mom to your squad.
Kangaskhan Locations in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
First and foremost, Kangaskhan can only be found after defeating the Elite Four and obtaining the National Pokédex, which you can obtain by contacting Professor Rowan on Sandgem Town after completing your Sinnoh Pokédex. Once you have the Pokédex, go to Great Marsh, which is part of Sinnoh’s Safari Zone and is located in Pastoria City. When you get in the region, walk through the grass until Kangaskhan’s encounter is triggered. To summarise, you can catch Kangaskhan in both Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl by following the steps below:
- Defeat the Elite Four.
- Complete your Sinnoh Pokédex.
- Get the National Pokédex on Sandgem Town.
- Head to Great Marsh.
- Explore the region until you trigger the Kangaskhan encounter.
- Battle and capture Kangaskhan.
We recommend using fighting-type Pokémon like Gallade and Lucario to speed up the process and make the battle easier. They will do more damage to the normal-type powerhouse. Don’t forget to learn how to evolve your Riolu into a Lucario and your Kirlia into a Gallade.
